ALBANY — Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul has a campaign war chest seven times the size of Republican challenger Lee Zeldin ahead of the November election.

State campaign finance reports due Friday show Hochul has $11.7 million in the bank, compared with the $1.6 million reported by Zeldin, a U.S. representative from Long Island. The fundraising gap between the two candidates is steep in a state where Democrats already have the voter registration edge and legislative supermajorities.

But the GOP faces a tough fight: The state’s Republican party had about $80,000 in the bank as of July 11. That’s less than one-fourth the size of the Democratic party’s $376,000 war chest. Hochul’s biggest donors include real estate developers, hedge fund managers, health insurer Fidelis and powerful unions representing New York City hotel and restaurant workers.

Zeldin’s top donors include FTX’s co-CEO Ryan Salame as well as major GOP donor and Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone.

Zeldin has vowed to repeal liberal criminal justice reforms, hire more police officers statewide and give judges discretion when setting bail. His campaign website also says he’ll “end all indoctrination and brainwashing” in schools and lift the cap on charter schools.
